Hello! This is a preciously wonderful image! I love the pattern in the paving, the tone and light on the couple and the background because it's a busy place and they are totally oblivious to their surroundings...how romantic and wonderful! Isn't photography great!

 

Regards,

The couple's apparent solitude is accentuated by the group crowding the stretch limousine behind them. You've beautifully isolated the couple to emphasize how oblivious they are at this moment to anything but each other. I think the choice of B&W adds to the effect nicely.

Great moment, pity about the Hummer limo and crowd around it. If this was a spontaneous street shot, you did well catching the moment, I know it's weird to walk around a scene like this looking for a better angle! Maybe they would have been cool and ignored you though, I'd have tried to get a direct side shot, maybe with them slightly out of focus and sharp on the ground below & in front, with a heavily out of focus backdrop behind them. That what makes art great though, the infinite possibilities.

 

Sometimes when I'm bored I do quick edits to convey my ideas... Added lens blur layer up top, and did a slight vignette to pull the eye to the center.

Nice to see you visit! Thank you for taking the time to have a look at my earlier submissions. I appreciate very much. Thank you very much indeed. Best regards, El.

 

To ND:............I appreciate your initiative with is certainly an interesting alternative - and I thank you for your proposal. It would have been easy for me to change the aperture and focus a bit to achieve a quasi similar result out of camera, which would give a complete different meaning to the caputure.However, what you see is what I had in mind with regards to the title interpretation. The shooting angle is of course a question of personal taste. Finally, this is a candid street night shot in the sense of the word - as you rightly observed. Again, thank you for your proposal, best regards, El.

You are right with the large DOF. I like the contrast of the two being lonely in the open space with the group and busy traffic in the background. Also that you put them in the very centre does enhance. Congratulations!
